applause. In the course of his speech he
said:
Our God is a merciful as well as wise
one. He will never condemn any being who
follows the dictstions of his conscience, even
be that conscience an erring one. In obey

THE GOLDMAN WILL CASE.
rhe Will Admitted to Probate-Mrs.
kimbalI'. Fat Share OF the Estate.
BosroN, July 8.

BosroN, july 3.
Judge McKim, of the Suffolk county pro-
bate court, this morning ordered decree to
be entered allowing the will of the late John
Amory Goldman, the contest over which has
excited such great public interest during the
last few months. The widow and daughter
of Mr.. Goldman contested the will on the
ground that Mrs. Eliza Ann Haes kimball,
who was given large bequests in the will, had
exercised an undue influence over the mind
of the testator, who, it was also claimed, was
not of sound mind at the the time the will
was changed.
Mrs. kimbalrs letters have taken large
space in the daily papers for weeks past
Judge McKlm finds that Mr.. Goldman was of
sound mimi and that thsre was no undue in
huence on the part of Mrs. Kimball. An ap
peal from this decision will undoubtedly be
taken to the supreme court
The estate OF Mr.. Goldman is estimated at
about S4l3,0O0 Under the will there is
given to Mrs Goldman outright $4,000 and to
Mrs. Kimball $40, 900. 1t is possible under
the terms of the will that Mrs. kimball will
receive the income OF S2S2, 900 in addition to
the $40 900 bequeathed 10 her sole and sep
arate use and also notes amounting to Sl3,
900.
Should Mary Burdett decease before Mrs
Kimball her legacy goes to the residue which
may become the property of Mrs. klmball
so that there is further possibility that the
latter may receive the income OF $500, 600
besides the $40, 900 and the notes tor $4,000
1t Is estimated by the counsel for the con
testants that in IA years Goldman paid S75,-
600 TO Mrs kimbal.

HARTFORD, Ct. july l0.
Geo. H. Warner, a well known citizen, for
over twenty years connected with the Ameri-

regard to the reports telegraphed by the As

Warner says no depositor ever waited FIVE

EDINBURGH, July 8.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie today laid the foun
dation stone of the new free library building
for the endow ment of which he donated $780,
900. Mr.. Blaine was present and made an
address. He claimed Mrs. Carnegie as a
no child in he United States old enough to
know about things away from home unac-
qusinted with Edinburgh; the many publica-
tions of the Chambers and the works of all
large circulatons in America. and all having
profiied by them. As for himself, he looked
back with pleasure upon the splendid galaxy
of Scotland's stars-Scott, Jeffrey and Sidney
Smith, whose literature, the latter avowed,
had been cultivated upon little oat meal.
Mr. Blaine was well received and much
cheered.
CHICAGO, July ..
A special from Edinburgh to the News
says The Evening Despatch editorially
comments on Mr.. Blaine as follows: With
other gifts, Mr.. Carnegie brings with him
Mr. Blaine, and in Mr. Blaine we have what
Mr.. Elijah Pogram would have called one of
Americas most remarkable men, In this
country Blalne's name has not invariably
been associated with all that is most admira-
BILE in American politics or most friendly in
American sentiment toward the country.
This may be because we have not sufficiently
studied American men and American things.
Perhaps a nearer view may correct the wrong
impressions of Mr.. Blaine in the public mind
of this country and the wrong impressions of
this country in the mind of Mr.. Blaine.
Knowing that it is on the cards that he may
one day be at the head of the American
Union, there is natural desire that the
Maine senator should look well at us and
think well of us. His reputation tor person
nj magnetism and for many other potent gifts
and graces as a man and politician, stands
above those of any other American states
man, so that is certain he will be well looked
at. and, as far as possible, well thought of in
return.

lIIDEOUS ATROCITIES.
Indians-A Bounty OF S7OO offered for
Each Apache Scalp.

Ell PAso, Tex july 9.
In spite of military reports TO the contrary
only a small fraction of the hostile Apaches
have really been captured by Gen. Miles.
The remainder OF the band, numbering about
100 warriors, are a. present encamped in II
valley il ragged range 20 miles northeast
of La Quna, Sunta Maria, aud about 40 miles
south ot Lake Guseman. Their retreat was
discovered by Tom McGraw and Vanness
Smith, two Ell Paso prospectors. They were
attacked by the Indians before they could
escape ard beth sho.. Smith was instantly
killed, but scout reports that McGraw was
captured alive and died later. On Monday
last predatory party of SO Apaches descend
ed the Casco grande toward Lake Guseman.
They we're seen by the Mexican guards at the
Ascension Custom House IN the Sabinal dis
trict, and also by Mormons living in that vi
ciniy. Further above, near Janos, this
party encountered four prospectors and
killed them by torture. The bodies now at
Janos furnish sufficient evidence of the hide
Gus atrocities which the miserable victims
were subjected to. The hands and feet of all
were chopped off, and one had his eyelids cut
away. They were Americans but their names
are unknown. The whole sectien of the
country is at present in a state of wild ex-
citement, and work at the outlying district is
practically suspended causing monetary
loss amounting far up into the thousands.

scending upon the valley stronghold of the
savages and a bloody battle may occur at any
time. When it occurs it will be one of ex-
termination, as the Governors office at Chip
